Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist, so dealing with the dead is his stock in trade. Between his private clients and some consulting for the Met, he thinks he's seen it all. But a late-night call out to a South London housing estate proves that he still has a few surprises left. After all, it's not every day you see your own name painted in blood at a a crime scene.But that's only the beginning. The estate is in the grip of an epidemic of violence, and it doesn't take Castor's sixth sense to realise that something very wrong is happening. The Anathemata, excommunicated militant arm of the Catholic Church, is on the case, too, but it's brutal solution may only make things worse. And Castor's brother, Matthew, is pursuing a secret agenda of his own.
Blood may be thicker than water, but Castor suspects he's dealing with something thicker than blood. And he needs to find it before the Anathemata. Or there'll be hell to pay...

Wow did this series just hit a high point, and I didnt guess for a second the outcome of this story which really hits you like a punch in the ribs. Again Felix castor is on the case, as usual on the wrong side of the law, and just about everyone else he knows for that matter, we get a much deeper insight into Fix's past and upbringing, and some development on his brother too, all in all a very welcome book for the series and definately the high point of it.This fourth book in the Felix Castor series is my favorite so far. The occult is not my favorite urban fantasy subject, but the exorcist theme works for me in these books. I also love the depiction of modern-day London and the British slang, and that the story has a nice mix of fantasy and the prosaic.This is richly written and suspenseful. It's very focused on Castor himself, and the other characterizations are admittedly a bit neglected. There seems to have been an off-camera reconciliation
Well, this book took me a while. I was bored out of my mind for the first half because the author used something similar in book 2. (view spoiler)[Honestly, Fix being again accused of murder, again set up by Coldwood and again bullied by Basquiat got old fast. And that woman. She couldn't be more unprofessional and narrowminded if she tried (hide spoiler)]. But then we learn some interesting things about demons, Matt and Fix himself, and the last 20 % of the book was interesting enough. So, I'm

I stayed up until about 4am reading this book, completely and utterly hooked. I have been into the series since first getting The Devil You Know, but there have always been small things I thought could have been done better.This book was incredible. I think Carey did his best work with the story and the characters in this installment. He has the trade-mark creepiness and horror and goes to a whole new level with it. The setting was really well-chosen, the use of the characters (especially since

Also, I finished the next (and last) book "The Naming of the Beasts" in the series a few hours after I finished this book. So this review is written after I've recovered from the sadness and shock of finishing what has become one of my most favorite series' ever, and after I've had enough time for the details to fade and blur
Well, the shit really hits the fan in this one. Felix "Fix" Castor, exorcist-extraordinaire is faced with a massive entity that is causing havoc in the Salisbury Estate in South London. He is also implicated in the mysterious stabbing death of a former childhood nemesis, who happens to have lived in the Salisbury. Fix goes to investigate and runs into Father Gwillam, the Pope's favorite exorcist and his band of soldiers. Then Fix's older brother, Father Matthew, shows up too and Fix is REALLY
Oh man oh man oh man. What a ride. Best of the series so far with an ending that was just, I dont even know what.I so want to jump into the next book, but I think I need a breather after this.
